APPLICATIONS

Perphenazine is a short-acting piperazine phenothiazine antipsychotic drug which exhibits a more propensity for producing extrapyramidal reactions than the group of phenothiazine antipsychotic drugs, and used orally and intramuscularly. It may occur less hypertension but less potentiating effect on CNS depressants, anesthetics sedating than the group of phenothiazine antipsychotic drugs.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS

The term antipsychotic refers to a group of drugs effective in the treatment of psychosis including schizophrenic, paranoid, schizoaffective, bipolar disorder, and other psychotic disorders. Traditional antipsychotic agents have phenothiazine  structure chemically. Phenothiazinene drugs are adrenergic blocking agents. Their pharmacologic actions including central nervous system depression, prolongation and potentiation of the effects of narcotic and hypnotic drugs, hypotensive activity, and antispasmodic, antihistaminic, and antiemetic activity. Other chemcial structures for antipsychotic drugs are diverse, they include thioxanthene, butyrophenone, dibenzoxazepine, dihydroindolone, benzisoxazole, and diphenylbutylpiperidine. Antipsychotic agents bind to dopamine, histamine, muscarinic cholinergic, a-adrenergic, and serotonin receptors. Blockade of dopaminergic transmission in various areas is known to be responsible for their major effects such as not only antipsychotic action by blockade in the mesolimbic and mesocortical areas and and antiemetic effects by blockade in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the medulla but also extrapyramidal side effects (dystonia, akathisia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia) by blockade in the basal ganglia and sedation and autonomic side effects (orthostatic hypotension, blurred vision, dry mouth, nasal congestion, and constipation) by blockade of histamine, cholinergic, and adrenergic receptors. The antipsychotic agents may be divided by chemical group and and the decreased propensity of extrapyramidal side effects into two main groups and a new class which is being processed.
